Reaction to: Smoke out

Thanks to Mike Aguirre, looks like its back to toking weed from apples and aluminum cans-

I truly thought that this is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heardIn the days just before Thanksgiving, Aguirre, via the Drug Abatement Response Team (DART), sent out 200 letters to 52 smoke shops citywide, informing them that they must, by Nov. 30, stop selling anything that is considered drug paraphernalia by California law. Specifically, that means all the glass pipes, all the water pipes, all the little baggies, all the scales—all that stuff must go. Disobedience can be punished with a year in jail or a $1,000 fine per type of illegal equipment on display, which for some shop owners could work out to tens of thousands of dollars and an unpalatable chunk of jail time. obviously, he does not see that there is also an economic reason behind selling glasswork and other materials. This art work ranges from anywhere from twenty dollars to two thousound. Its glass work, not just a bong to smoke tobacco out of.

I'll just end with this- “What is the motive and intention here?” asked Margaret Dooley-Sammuli, the head of the local office of the Drug Policy Alliance. “Has it really been a long-neglected community problem, or is this an easy way to pretend to be doing something significant about drug use?”

This article was about how if you consistently drink throughout a pregnancy it can seriously harm an unborn child, however a single incident of binge drinking while pregnant probably will not harm the developing fetus. I found this extremly ironic becuase of the fact that I thought all alchol consumption was horrible for a developing fetus. There is not enough evidence linking binge drinking, a behavior that is becoming increasingly common among pregnant women, to pregnancy complications. Warning: The study does not, however, give women permission to go on drinking binges, defined as five or more drinks, during their pregnancy.
